Just two people talking is not hate speech? That is all you need is two. One doing the hate speech and another to hear it. This is what is wrong with this world today. No good info on this stuff. It's how families teach it. How teenagers pass it on if they hear it at home or from a friend. It's how most hate speech reaches the masses. You don't need a crowd you just need one person to listen to the hate coming from your mouth and that creates a domino effect.

This is not a question of if it is hate speech or not, it is a tool for journalists to gauge if it is newsworthy or not
